Before we talk about today match, make we take one look back. The last time Racing Santander and Elche play for Primera División na for February 10, 1985. That time, dem play for old Campos de Sport, and Racing win 2-0. Tino and Mario score the goals. Now, more than 40 years later, dem don meet again for top flight.
This Friday match don come with plenty drama. Racing don play two games so far – dem draw with Villarreal and lose small to Getafe. Dem even miss penalty for that match. So dem get only one point. The team still dey build, because transfer market still open, and some key players fit still comot before deadline.
Players like Jorge Salinas, Gustavo Puerta, and Sergio Martínez still dey with the club. Dem bin almost comot for May, but now dem still around. Coach José Alberto López get decision to make for midfield – e fit choose Sergio or young Iván Martín. Also, Matteo Prati just join and dey for squad. Juan Carlos Arana dey too, but e future no clear.
For Elche side, new coach Martín Anselmi don take over from Eder Sarabia. The team get more settled squad, but dem still want add new players. Buonanotte fit start first match, and Bigas fit replace Redondo for defense. Both teams dey fight for survival – na direct duel.
Dis match important because e go show which team fit survive for Primera. The points for August dey count same as May one. Racing fans dey hope say dem go see better performance and victory before dem face Rayo Vallecano next week.
